Pros

Three times as fast as USB 2.0, Can be used with external monitor, Sleek design
Incredibly fast transfer speeds of up to 10 gigabits per second blows away competitors. Slick and slim design classes up any workstation. Heat sink design keeps data cool.

Cons

Expensive, Thunderbolt cable not included, Currently only compatible with Macs
High price and smaller storage capacity will scare away consumers. Internal fan whirs at all times. Necessary power adapter limits portability. Cable is an extra $50.
